Vatican right to ignore Murphy

Sir -- Congratulations to the Vatican for ignoring the pompous summons of the Spud Murphy Commission. We have just been informed by the HSE that approximately 200 children died in the tender loving care of the State over the last 10 years. Yet not a whimper of outrage from the liberal/feminist commentariat. Hypocritical double standards. They have been similarly quite sanguine/blase over Bethany House. The Vatican is dead right not to bow to the demands of a failed political entity and its legalistic quangos. God bless the Pope!
